Cut Her Some Flack

The 71-year-old resurfaced at a NYC event last week, looking debonair.
Roberta Flack
Flack recorded many duets with singer Donny Hathaway, until his suicide in 1979.

Roberta sang the theme song to the '80s TV series "Valerie," which later became "The Hogan Family" after Valerie Harper's character was killed off.

6. She does look great. But c'mon... her claim to fame isn't a TV show theme song. What about KILLING ME SOFTLY and THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE?

13. She is one of my favorites from the 70's - I think she's always been a classey lady. You go girl!

14. I'm sorry but her head looks like a caterpillar high school reunion. (But she is in amazing shape for 71.)
